About Eden

Meet Eden, the young Malinois mix. She came to the shelter as an owner surrender when her previous guardians could no longer care for her. Eden lived happily with two labs in her last home, enjoying their company and playtime together. Like many dogs her age and breed, she can get a bit mouthy during play, so it's important for adopters to have toys ready to redirect her energy. Eden has experience with children, having been around a 2-year-old, and did well, though it’s always best to supervise interactions to keep things safe. She has also lived with cats and enjoys the chase, but a savvy cat and careful introductions will help them coexist peacefully. House training is already a plus for Eden, and she adores playing fetch and being close to her people. Potential adopters should do some breed-specific research to ensure they provide the mental and physical enrichment this pup needs for a happy life. The shelter offers “Pawsitivity Bucks,” a $200 training voucher with every dog adoption, connecting you with local positive reinforcement trainers. Ready to meet Eden? Don’t miss the chance to make her a part of your family.
